FUM-HEXA
Undoubtedly, the ability to walk is considered as an important function which directly relates to our physical and psychological wellbeing. Walking abnormalities and impairments not only have a negative impact on our daily lives but could also increase the chances of further medical complications. Patients with walking abnormalities are often required to undergo rehabilitative exercises in order to correct and/or improve their gait. To this end, the wearable robot FUM-HEXA (Hip Exoskeleton Assistance) was designed as an attempt to help patients with lower limb disabilities to restore or improve their walking ability, and also to reduce the burden of the human assist.
FUM-HEXA can perform all the needed algorithms for the treatment of gait abnormality, and therefore reduce the physiotherapist’s physical burden. Moreover, it helps to improve symmetric movement, stride, linear speed, and walking duration.
- 70 watt BLDC motors with a precise gearbox, each driving a link which is placed on the human thigh and fastened
- The robot actuators provide hip flexion torque during gait cycle
- Treatment of gait abnormalities
- Helps to improve symmetric movement, stride, linear speed, and walking duration
